Remote work policy
What is a remote work policy?
A remote work policy is a set of guidelines that stipulate how and when employees can work outside of the traditional office environment. These policies will also determine finer details such as who is responsible for purchasing and upgrading the technology infrastructure needed to facilitate such an arrangement.
The benefits of remote work policies?
A remote work policy has a myriad of benefits for both employees and employers. For employees, a remote work policy can help to achieve work-life balance. There are also more practical things to consider, such as the fact that working from home cuts down on commuting times.
Organisations can also reap the rewards of instituting a remote work policy. Key research has shown that individuals are more productive when working from home. Without having to worry about commuting to work, individuals start work earlier and are more engaged due to the minimisation of distractions that are prevalent in offices.
How can organisations manage remote work?
With the workforce spread out both in the office and at home, organisations need to employ tools that make communication and workplace management seamless.
Roubler’s workforce management and payroll software streamlines business operations by removing the need for paperwork. Everything from employee onboarding and leave management to expense claims and learning tools are online, meaning that they can be accessed from anywhere.
All of which helps an organisation ensure that wherever their workers are based, everyone has access to the same information.
